Burnley: Hannibal Mejbri leads by example despite defeat to Brentford

Hannibal Mejbri put on a masterclass this Saturday against Brentford. The Tunisian midfielder initially helped his team mount a comeback, though they ultimately lost (3-4).

Hannibal Mejbri was one of the main architects of the Clarets' comeback when things looked bleak. With two assists to his name, he played a direct role in pulling his side back into the game.

Down 3-0 and then 3-1, Burnley found the strength to claw back to 3-3, largely thanks to the Tunisian's technical precision and creativity.

Beyond his two assists, Hannibal Mejbri delivered a comprehensive performance with 2 chances created, 1 big chance created, 100% successful dribbles, 100% successful crosses, 8 duels won out of 13, and 3 fouls won.

His constant activity between the lines, ability to carry the ball, and willingness to take on defenders kept Burnley in the contest.

Momentum continues

The attacking midfielder is clearly on an upward trajectory. Over his last three Premier League games, Hannibal Mejbri has been directly involved in three goals against Crystal Palace FC and Brentford. He now boasts three decisive contributions in his last four league outings.

Despite conceding defeat in stoppage time, Hannibal Mejbri left a lasting impression with his influence, personality, and attacking impact in a rollercoaster encounter.
